    Great information! Looks like you had an awesome week in Iceland. I'm planning my own trip for next June!

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Nice! Hopefully you get some lava flowing during that time! That was one thing I didn't get to see.

  • @welshlad6427
    @welshlad6427 Před 2 měsíci

    Fantastic vlog and you got to see some fantastic places. However in 7 days you could’ve seen so much more…….then again you can always go back again😉. I’ve visited 7 times and heading there again in 3 weeks time. My favourite country 🇮🇸❤️

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 2 měsíci

      Definitely! I was actually afraid I didn't have enough time and rushed my way around the Ring Road. For example, I had Landmannalaugar on the itinerary but wasn't sure how far back it would set me. Will 100% go back again

    Thank you so much for sharing these valuable infos. I am planning to visit Iceland this summer, working while traveling. My first concern is probably the signal, as I need to work async with US hours, slight video calling maybe. Do the campgrounds generally have good signals? Or even provide wifi? Thanks

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před měsícem +1

      They do! I actually was in the same situation. Most campsites (if not all) I was in had signal where I could use my hotspot and get online.

  • @tcwaz
    @tcwaz Před měsícem

    Very informative. Thank you for the tips and info. We are headed there at the end of the month. We will be there for 13 days. If you had a few extra days, how would you spend them? Thanks!

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před měsícem

      Thanks! I'd probably make an effort to explore the interior of Iceland such as Landmannalaugar and Sigöldugljúfur. Haifoss is a good one as well

  • @jorgedias6896
    @jorgedias6896 Před 3 měsíci

    Awesome content!
    One thing I didn’t get, did you slept in the car on the campsites?

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I slept in the tent that came with the car rental. Most of the campsites I went to were all open field and you can park anywhere. Some were assigned areas with it's own fire pit and bench

    Thanks for the lovely video. Do you have the breakdown of how much you drove per day?

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 7 měsíci +3

      Thanks! An estimate varies per day and which part of the island you are in.
      Day 1: about 145 miles (mainly from the airport to grocery stores (Reykjavik) to camp)
      Day 2: about 50 miles
      Day 3: about 238 miles
      Day 4: about 175 miles
      Day 5: about 300 miles
      Day 6: about 230 miles
      Day 7: about 223 miles
      Day 8: about 50 miles

  • @rdj0645
    @rdj0645 Před 6 měsíci

    This was such a helpful video! My friends and I are heading to Iceland in April and have 5 non-travel days. Can this itinerary be condensed into 5 days?

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 6 měsíci

      You'd be very tired and run on little sleep but I'd say it's doable lol if you are doing the entire Ring Road you can probably skip out Hvítserkur and Rauðisandur on the northern part of the island.

  • @PeteLenz
    @PeteLenz Před měsícem

    Great information! How did you find using your drone?

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před měsícem +1

      Good! In some spots, the tour guide on the trail actually encouraged it and told me where to get the best angles (Mulagljufur Canyon). Other spots like the Airplane crash site or anywhere on the east side of Iceland were a bit difficult due to high winds. I didn't have many issues with the DJI Air 2 but mini's might be troublesome

    • @PeteLenz

      @@tim.muangkeo Thanks -- I have a Mini - my son has a more robust drone - we're excited and inspired by your photography!

  • @mmshemeer
    @mmshemeer Před měsícem

    can we take avata2 & mini4 is there any restrictions

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 29 dny

      No restrictions for the type of drones. However I will say a ton of spots have a no drone zone sign. I overheard a tour guide say you can fly if you launch the drone outside of the sign. Skogafoss is one of those spots

  • @Frustrationcentral

    What is the name of the waterfall inside the canyon? I went back in the video but didn’t catch the name

  • @stone4bread

    What month did you go?

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  Před 3 měsíci

      Early September. August 29 - September 9 to be exact. The first day and last day were flying to get there and back

      lol thanks! I'm sure it'll reach its target audience eventually
